Does anyone know what the differences are ,between the Browning A-Bolt & X-Bolt rifles ? Also...why does almost every A-Bolt have the "BOSS" option and NONE of the X-Bolts are available with the BOSS system?

Yes to the first question and because they don't come with them for the second.

Differences between A-Bolt X-Bolt: 1) A-bolt has a metal mag vs X-bolts polymer mag 2) X-bolt slightly lighter than A-Bolt 3) trigger 4) scope base mounting system 5) Boss System
No idea on second question.

A-bolt vs X-bolt.... NO comparison....X-bolt hands down. X-bolt does not need a BOSS to shoot well.
